Subject: splitting in assignment forms of expansion
Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2012 10:42:36 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120927024236.GA7385@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Hello,

The manpage of zshexpn states about "${=...}":

      Note  that  splitting is applied to word in the assignment forms
      of spec before  the  assignment  to  name  is  performed.   This
      affects the result of array assignments with the A flag.

but looks like the splitting isn't applied to word first:

% print -l ${=xx::=foo           bar}
foo
bar
%  print -l $xx
foo           bar
%

I'm confused on this. Please help.

Thanks.
